The American Anthropological Association (AAA) is committed to making its Annual Meeting accessible to anthropologists from diverse backgrounds. To support this goal, we offer financial aid to partially or fully offset meeting registration and/or membership fees for individuals who demonstrate financial need. Members are also encouraged to donate to the “Annual Meeting Registration Fund” to support this funding initiative.
